Iran & Iraq united is probably the worst outcome possible, as it will ensure our continued involvement to protect shipping throughout the persian gulf.

why should we GAF about shipping in the persian gulf. Cut our losses, and get the hell out of dodge. Let the rest of the world worry about it. I think Trump wants a war -- to help his campaign and 'legacy' such as it is. So we'll probably get a war.

No, Trump doesn’t want war.

Nobody actually wants war.

Go study up on the tanker wars and what Iran has done to the world economy in the past.

We’ve been in the gulf for decades, doing what our Navy does best - keeping peace.
